Finalists announced for John Booth Award for Volunteering

JHorsfall • 18 June 2020

We can now reveal our shortlisted nominations.

We launched the John Booth Award for Volunteering during PWS Awareness Month as an opportunity for people to say a big 'thank you' to those they felt had gone above and beyond for our PWS community.

John was one of the Association’s tireless supporters, a trustee, President, Chair of Trustees and dad to Rachel who sadly died in her fifties in 2018. 

Thank you to everyone who sent in a nomination. We can now reveal that our finalists are:

- Andy & Lene Cunis

- Gemma Rankine

- Kerry Simpson

- Sue Newton

We will be announcing the winner at the end of June but, in the meantime, congratulations to our finalists and, of course, thank you to all our wonderful volunteers!
